DC Universe’s first original series follows this group of young heroes as they come of age and find belonging in a gritty take on the iconic Teen Titans franchise. In the groundbreaking first season, Dick meets Rachel Roth aka Raven (series star Teagan Croft), a young girl with special abilities brought on by a mysterious darkness inside of her that she struggles to control, and together, they find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy to bring about Hell on Earth. Joined by the mysterious Kory Anders aka Starfire (series star Anna Diop) and loveable Gar Logan aka Beast Boy (series star Ryan Potter), these lost and disparate individuals become a surrogate family to one another and a team of heroes for the world.</p><p>For features, articles and news on <em>Titans: </em><a href="https://www.dccomics.com/tv/titans">https://www.dccomics.com/tv/titans</a></p><p>#DCUTITANS #DCUNIVERSE</p></div></div></div><span rel="schema:url" resource="/videos/titans-dc-universe-season-2-trailer" class="rdf-meta element-hidden"></span><span property="schema:name" content="Titans - DC Universe - Season 2 Trailer" class="rdf-meta element-hidden"></span>Tue, 27 Aug 2019 19:36:25 +0000Tim Beedle447756 at https://www.dccomics.comhttps://www.dccomics.com/videos/titans-dc-universe-season-2-trailer#commentsNew Titans Poster Puts Deathstroke Front and Centerhttps://www.dccomics.com/blog/2019/08/20/new-titans-poster-puts-deathstroke-front-and-center

<div class="body-insertable"><p><em><a href="https://www.dccomics.com/tv/titans" target="_blank">Titans</a> </em>is returning to DC Universe on September 6 for a second season that promises to be even bigger than the first. Like, <em>literally </em>bigger. The cast has expanded considerably as the fledgling team of young heroes look to be joined by a few familiar faces—hello, Superboy!—as they build on the not-exactly-rock-solid relationship they forged in the first season. And it’s a good thing too since they’ll likely need all the help they can get as they take on one of the biggest villains out there—Deathstroke.</p><p>Unsurprisingly, the one-eyed mercenary is front and center in the show’s just-released season 2 poster, which, along with the first season crew, also features Conor Leslie’s Wonder Girl, Curran Walters’ Jason Todd, Chelsea Zhang’s Ravager and Joshua Orpin’s Boy of Steel.</p><p align="center"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2019/08-AUG/TITANS_EPIC_-27x40_F-1200Tall_5d5c3b75ab24e3.08314664.jpg" style="width: 812px; height: 1200px;" /></p><p>If you’ve <a href="https://www.dccomics.com/videos/titans-dc-universe-season-2-first-look" target="_blank">seen the season 2 first look</a> that’s been released, you may have caught a few other heroes and villains not present in this image, including Jericho (Chella Man), Aqualad (Drew Van Acker), Bruce Wayne (Iain Glen) and…Krypto! Hey, there are only so many superheroes you can fit on a poster, but rest assured, they’ll all have their role to play when the DC Universe original series returns. Don’t know about you, but we…can’t…wait!</p></div>

<div class="body-insertable"><p>The family keeps growing!</p><p>Following the news that <a href="https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2019/03/13/breaking-news-deathstroke-is-coming-to-titans" target="_blank">Esai Morales has been cast as Deathstroke</a> and <a href="https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2019/03/19/breaking-news-chella-man-joins-the-cast-of-titans-as-jericho" target="_blank">Chella Man has landed the role of Jericho,</a> Deadline <a href="https://deadline.com/2019/03/titans-rose-wilson-deathstroke-disney-channel-actress-cast-as-ravager-on-dc-universe-series-1202580773/" target="_blank">just announced the latest member</a> of the Wilson family to join the <em><a href="https://www.dccomics.com/tv/titans" target="_blank">Titans</a> </em>roster—Rose Wilson. Traditionally, Slade’s youngest child, Rose will be played by actress <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4499755/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1">Chelsea Zhang.</a></p><p>Rose has a pretty storied history in the comics, something that’s still being written in Christopher Priest’s acclaimed <a href="https://www.readdc.com/Deathstroke-2016/comics-series/74138">DEATHSTROKE</a> ongoing. However, the description of the character provided by the show gives us some hints on what to expect when she makes her TV debut: <em>Daughter of the deadly assassin, Deathstroke, Rose Wilson was forced to undergo the same procedure that granted her father nearly superhuman abilities, becoming a weapon known as Ravager. Ever resentful, she seeks out the Titans not only for their protection but to get back at her father. Knowing how dangerous it is to be the offspring of their deadliest foe, the Titans take her in, but that doesn't necessarily mean they trust her.</em></p><p>Rose has served as both a member of the Teen Titans and an antagonist to the team, and currently seems to fall somewhere squarely in the middle of the hero/villain divide. While possessing the same powers as her father, she was trained by Nightwing, who instilled in her a moral compass that Deathstroke doesn’t possess. However, prior to that training, she was dangerous and out of control, and while teamed with her father, was a particularly lethal threat to the Titans.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2019/03-MAR/Ravager_PR_700_5c94034c1facd7.53597389.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 1017px;" /></p><p>The fact that Rose is referred to as Ravager above is interesting, as she wasn’t the first Wilson to use that name. That would be Grant Wilson, Slade’s oldest child. There’s been no news yet of Grant’s casting, and it’s uncertain if he’ll be a part of the show. Also interesting is that traditionally, Rose has a different mother than Slade’s two sons. She’s illegitimate, something that has always been a source of irritation to Slade’s ex-wife, Adeline (a character who has also not yet been announced for the show).</p><p>It’s debatable whether we’ve seen Rose Wilson on television prior to now. The second season of <em><a href="https://www.dccomics.com/tv/arrow-2012-present" target="_blank">Arrow</a> </em>featured a very Rose-like character named Isabel Rochev who was trained by and allied with Deathstroke in his revenge against Oliver Queen. She ultimately adopted the Ravager name and costume, but as mentioned, she wasn’t Rose. Likewise, Rose Wilson <em>has </em>appeared on <em><a href="https://www.dccomics.com/tv/teen-titans-go-2013" target="_blank">Teen Titans Go!,</a> </em>but received the show’s usual comedic makeover. Certainly, this will be the first time we’ve seen her in context with the Teen Titans and the Wilson family, which is where she belongs in the hearts and minds of most DC fans.</p><p>As for Zhang, she’s young and a relative newcomer, with her biggest role to date being on the Disney Channel series <em>Andi Mack</em>. This will be her first action-oriented role and her first superhero project.</p><p>Okay, <em>Titans </em>fans, now’s your chance to sound off! What do you think of this announcement? Are you excited to see Ravager on the series? Should she be an ally to the Titans or an enemy? Let us know your thoughts, and <a href="http://www.dcuniverse.com/join" target="_blank">make sure you’re subscribed</a> to DC Universe so you don’t miss out on the Wilson family’s much anticipated debut when <em>Titans </em>returns!</p></div>

Joey, however, seems more interested in learning what really happened to his murdered fiancée—something Slade has falsely claimed responsibility for.</p><p align="center"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2017/07-JUL/TJH_7-6_3_595ef92542b283.02078713.jpg" style="width: 698px; height: 1080px;" /></p><p>Yes, Rose Wilson is onboard with this new team as well, along with Tanya Spears and Wally West—better known by all as Power Girl and Kid Flash. However, for Wally, at least, it comes with more than a few reservations…</p><p align="center"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2017/07-JUL/TJH_7-6_1_595ef937543c77.74877103.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 1079px;" /></p><p align="center"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2017/07-JUL/TJH_7-6_2_595ef94462aa86.83871186.jpg" style="width: 699px; height: 1079px;" /></p><p>As for Slade, so far he seems pretty sincere about this dramatic new direction, and is eager to give the team their first field test. But finding a good one proves to be a challenge, forcing Deathstroke to step into his former role as an assassin one final (or so he claims) time. Slade hunts down and kills a chauffeur working for the authoritarian president of the tiny island nation of Chetlan. When it’s revealed the chauffeur had a background as a ruthless drug dealer and was carrying out a longtime affair with the president’s wife, it ignites an international crisis as the president blames America for the assassination, seizes the American embassy and takes the Americans there hostage.</p><p>The United States alerts the Justice League, but Slade asks them to stand down because…well…</p><p align="center"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2017/07-JUL/TJH_7-6_4_595ef954cad4b6.68670252.jpg" style="width: 900px; height: 692px;" /></p><p>Yes, Defiance! A super team for a super uncertain era. Perhaps most remarkable of all is that with Jericho, Ravager, Kid Flash and Power Girl all among its members, Slade’s actually put together a potentially great team. One that could go toe-to-toe with, if not the Justice League, then many of the other super-teams to be found within the DCU.</p><p>However, it turns out that’s not the complete lineup. Adeline has invited one other former associate of Deathstroke’s to join the team, and well, she and Slade have some complex history.</p><p align="center"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2017/07-JUL/TJH_7-6_5_595ef9648b5d96.98022658.jpg" style="width: 699px; height: 1080px;" /></p><p>Yep. That just happened. Terra is a part of the team as well. But what does her seeming loyalty to Adeline and Adeline’s vow to “end Deathstroke forever” mean for Slade and Defiance? We’ll all have to wait until this intriguing new storyline continues in next month’s <a href="http://www.dccomics.com/comics/deathstroke-2016/deathstroke-22">DEATHSTROKE #22</a> to find out!</p></div>

<div class="body-insertable"><p>If you’ve been keeping up with Deathstroke since <a href="https://www.readdcentertainment.com/DC-Universe-Rebirth-2016-1/digital-comic/T1595400015001">DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH</a>, you’ve likely noticed that his family plays a huge role in his ongoing series. And if you haven’t been reading, now is your chance to get caught up on this occasionally brutal, but always thought provoking series.</p><p><a href="https://www.readdcentertainment.com/Deathstroke-2016-Vol-1-The-Professional/digital-comic/T1631200018301">DEATHSTROKE VOL. 1: THE PROFESSIONAL</a> has hit shelves and brought with it all the drama, violence, twists and turns of the whole Wilson clan. Fans will tell you that Slade and his family are...well, a little...dysfunctional. As you might imagine, the Wilsons have been perfecting their specific brand of dynastic violence for years, so there’s a lot of it to go around. After all, you don’t get so good at stabbing your siblings, parents and spouses in the back just overnight.</p><p>However, if you’re new to Deathstroke, you don’t know this history, and considering how much it informs his Rebirth series, we thought we’d revisit some of it for you. So with that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the thorniest branches in this dangerous family tree.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2017/03-MAR/DSKREB_1_07_600_600_58c8885e8e2125.22385761.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 911px;" /></p><h2><strong>The Father: Slade Wilson</strong></h2><p>Slade Wilson enlisted in the military as a teenager after lying about his age to recruiters and miraculously got away with it. Despite his age, he took to the military life like a duck to water. After seeing some combat, he was rapidly promoted and tasked with managing the training of new recruits. It was during this time state-side that Slade met his future wife, Adeline, who was so impressed with his fighting prowess that she took him under her wing and privately tutored him in just about every form of combat known to man.</p><p>Slade, being who he is, mastered them all in about a year, during which time he and Adeline were married and had their first son. Just in time, too, because not long after he was shipped back into combat duty where he was chosen for an experimental procedure that imbued him with superhuman strength and reflexes...at the price of making him even more easily enraged and volatile. Not a great combination for someone who has basically been born and bred by violence.</p><p>Ultimately, that powder keg had to explode and Slade was discharged from the military when his temper, insubordination and overall disillusionment with the established protocols boiled over. Unable (or unwilling) to live a quiet, normal life, he took to mercenary work to satiate his bloodlust and endless need to push himself further.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2017/03-MAR/DSK_2_02_600_900_58c88870741ff2.11841362.jpg" style="width: 900px; height: 666px;" /></p><h2><strong>The Mother: Adeline Kane </strong></h2><p>As the daughter of an army veteran, military life was a family affair for Adeline even before she met and married Slade.</p><p>Adeline worked as a squadron leader and trainer for guerilla tactics for the army at Camp Washington, where she’d eventually meet, train and fall in love with Slade. They would go on to have two children, Grant and Joey, before Slade decided to make his leap from the military to the mercenary business.</p><p>As you might imagine, it’s pretty difficult to keep a job like murderer-for-hire a secret from your wife, especially when your wife is also a highly trained military operative. Rocky as his lifestyle made things between the two of them, Slade’s new career path didn’t really boil over until one of his contracts put his family in the crosshairs. Posing a risk to her sons was, apparently, the last straw for Adeline.</p><p>Furious at Slade’s carelessness, she took matters into her own hands and, well...shot Slade in the face. His metahuman reflexes and healing saved his life, but he lost his eye in the process. The two were divorced not long after that and—surprise!—were never able to reconcile a friendship.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2017/03-MAR/DSK_3_20_600b_900_58c8888c995451.48619494.jpg" style="width: 900px; height: 273px;" /></p><h2><strong>The Brother-in-Arms: William Randolph Wintergreen </strong></h2><p>Wintergreen may not be a Wilson in name or in blood, but his ties to the family run deep. A member of the British military and MI-5, Billy met Slade while he was working as an American liaison with the British Army. Their friendship really kicked off, however, when Wintergreen disobeyed direct orders and staged a rescue mission for Slade after he had been sent on what amounted to a suicide mission.</p><p>With Slade believing he owed Wintergreen his life, the two became close friends. Funny how life debts will fast track relationships like that, huh? Wintergreen even acted as Slade’s best man for his wedding.</p><p>Eventually, Slade was given a chance to pay William—or Billy, as he’s usually called—back when their circumstances were reversed. Billy was sent on a suicide mission and Slade got to ignore orders, swoop in and pull him out. This marked the slow decline of Slade’s relationship with the military, but served to double down on his bond with Wintergreen.</p><p>When Slade took up contract killing, Billy went with him. He acted as Slade’s confidant, occasional medic and incredibly put-upon (only somewhat successful) moral compass.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2017/03-MAR/DSK_1_12_600_900_58c8889e329171.32210549.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 685px;" /></p><h2><strong>The Prodigal Sons: Joey and Grant Wilson</strong></h2><p>To say Slade and Adeline’s sons, Grant and Joey, had a rough childhood would be putting it pretty mildly. Neither parent could seem to see eye-to-eye for very long and the boys weren’t able to form a close bond with one another. Still, Slade and Adeline managed to pull it together just enough to raise the boys to adolescence together.</p><p>Of course, as you might imagine, the straw that broke the camel's back was the targeting of the boys by one of Slade’s vengeful enemies. Slade managed to save the boys, but not before Joey’s throat was slit and he was left mute for the rest of his life.</p><p>Following the attack and their parents’ subsequent divorce, Joey and Grant were left in Adeline’s custody. Grant ran away to try his hand at the family business of contract killing, adopting the name “Ravager.”</p><p>It went about as well as you might expect.</p><p>Grant eventually developed ties to H.I.V.E and allowed them to conduct an experimental procedure on him before sending him out with a contract to eliminate the Teen Titans. The experiment, however, proved to be too much for Grant’s body and killed him during the fight.</p><p>Conversely, Joey tried his best to keep his head down during his traumatic childhood, becoming passionate for considerably less Wilson-like hobbies like art and music...which is a lucky thing, considering that Joey was born with some potentially incredibly deadly metahuman abilities. Specifically, he could temporarily “jump” into a person’s body, controlling them while leaving his own body lifeless and prone, after making eye contact.</p><p>Eager to sever ties with his toxic family, Joey left home and tried to distance himself as much as he could from the Wilson clan by becoming the vice president of a tech company in Los Angeles. Still, it would seem that duplicity is as much second nature to him as it is the rest of his family. Joey’s been spending his free time manipulating his fiancée and moonlighting as a vigilante named “Jericho.”</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2017/03-MAR/DSK_5_14_600_900_58c888b25dc5e9.66973542.jpg" style="width: 900px; height: 673px;" /></p><h2><strong>The Occasionally Heroic Daughter: Rose Wilson</strong></h2><p>After his divorce with Adeline, Slade became entangled with a Hmong woman from Cambodia named Lilli Worth. The two were never married and when Lilli gave birth to a daughter, she kept her secret from Slade for as long as she could.</p><p>Rose spent her childhood being taught and trained in private with her mother in New York, but when another contract killer began hunting down and killing people connected to Deathstroke, the truth of Rose’s parentage was dragged into the light. Despite this revelation, Slade still refused to maintain a close relationship with his daughter, thinking it would keep her “safer” to stay away. Instead, he sent her to train and fight against some of his own most bitter rivals, like Nightwing, to hone her skills as a martial artist… So much for father/daughter bonding.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/2017/03-MAR/DSK_3_10_600_600_58c888c6d61a89.81149105.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 650px;" /></p><p>Rose eventually adopted the moniker that her brother once held—Ravager. However, unlike Grant, Rose has taken a slightly more heroic approach to the family business, even serving with the Teen Titans for a stint.</p><p>As you might imagine, Rose and Slade’s relationship continues to be...rocky...to this day. Loyalty isn’t exactly something that runs in the family.<br /> </p><p>And there you have it, a peek into the twisted personal lives and inglorious histories of the house that violence built. Armed with this knowledge (...and maybe a super suit or some power armor, you can never be too careful) you're ready to dive a little deeper into the tangled webs of the Wilson family in Deathstroke Vol. 1. Just be sure to keep your head down and your wits about you—the turnover rate for family friends has traditionally been pretty high.<br /> </p><p><em><a href="http://www.dccomics.com/graphic-novels/deathstroke-2016/deathstroke-vol-1-the-professional">DEATHSTROKE VOL. 1: THE PROFESSIONAL</a> is now available in print and <a href="https://www.readdcentertainment.com/Deathstroke-2016-Vol-1-The-Professional/digital-comic/T1631200018301">as a digital download.</a></em></p></div>
